/**
 * \class PluginBufferingAdapter PluginBufferingAdapter.h <vamp-sdk/hostext/PluginBufferingAdapter.h>
 *
 * PluginBufferingAdapter is a Vamp plugin adapter that allows plugins
 * to be used by a host supplying an audio stream in non-overlapping
 * buffers of arbitrary size.
 *
 * A host using PluginBufferingAdapter may ignore the preferred step
 * and block size reported by the plugin, and still expect the plugin
 * to run.  The value of blockSize and stepSize passed to initialise
 * should be the size of the buffer which the host will supply; the
 * stepSize should be equal to the blockSize.
 *
 * If the internal step size used for the plugin differs from that
 * supplied by the host, the adapter will modify the sample type and
 * rate specifications for the plugin outputs appropriately, and set
 * timestamps on the output features for outputs that formerly used a
 * different sample rate specification.  This is necessary in order to
 * obtain correct time stamping.
 * 
 * In other respects, the PluginBufferingAdapter behaves identically
 * to the plugin that it wraps. The wrapped plugin will be deleted
 * when the wrapper is deleted.
